NBA villain

Chapter 58 Pierce

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yang Di stayed on the court, the shooting rate of both sides was still very low, and the rhythm was very slow.

In this era, it is the era with the slowest pace in the NBA. O'Neal in the East and West is in his prime, Duncan, Da Ben, Chris Webber and other traditional insiders are in power.

The two sides fought for more than 4 minutes, and the sound of "bang bang bang bang" continued.

Until the commercial pause time, the two sides replaced their main lineup, that is, the lineup at the end of the first quarter, and the Celtics Pierce, Mike James and others all returned to the field.

"To be honest, Dwyane seems a little out of shape in this game.",

The broadcast TV commentator commented on Wade's performance today, mainly comparing it with Wade's outstanding performance yesterday. At the same time, he also talked about Banks, the 13th pick rookie who played for the Celtics today.

"Did not show the level of immediate combat power required by the Celtics. Compared with the other two rookies Haslem and Yang Di on the opposite side of the Heat, I have to admire the Heat's draft vision. At the same time, the players who played today In the game, LeBron James, Darko Milicic and Carmelo Anthony will be in the game."

"The rookie year of 03, this year's rookie will have great expectations."

After Pierce came on the field, the Celtics had a core tactic. After Mike James' high pick-and-roll, he gave Paul Pierce who came out of the low post.

Pierce's movement speed has always been unhappy, and he held the ball behind his back to withstand Odom.

Turning his back and swaying to the left, holding the ball and walking to the baseline, Odom felt the change of Pierce's center of gravity. He was not sure about his movements, so he could only act later.

He wanted to take advantage of his height and wingspan to strike later, but he lost the opportunity in action.

Pierce took two steps, stepped out with his right foot, put his hands together, as if he was about to shoot, Odom glanced at it, and raised his hand in a blink of an eye to block the shot.

But at this moment, Pierce took a big step along the baseline, stepped on the ground with his right foot and burst into strength, raised the basketball with both hands, turned around, turned over and shot a backward jumper.

Withdrawing and stepping back, when Odom kept up with the interference, Pierce had already shot.

In order not to violate the shooting cylinder, the two people are actually quite far apart.It's just that from the audience's point of view, Odom defended the ball well.

The basketball entered the frame accurately, and the Celtics still led the Heat by 25 points 20 to 5.

In the same period, apart from the hardcore fans of the two teams, the individual visitors who watched this game were really drowsy. There were no dunks, no blocks, and the fist-to-hand confrontation was not intense enough. Adrenal hormones in people.

Wade held the ball in the frontcourt and asked Odom to come out for a pick-and-roll.

He accelerated with the ball and passed the defender in one step. Pierce, who was staring at Odom, could only let go of Odom and switch to Wade. Hold the ball to keep up, and then hold the ball for a three-step layup. There is a physical contact and confrontation between the two in the air.

The basketball went into the basket, and it turned out to be a return ball. This kind of answerball immediately excited the fans slightly.

The Celtics attacked, Pierce passed to Mike James, Mike James broke through and forced a layup, missed, the rebound did not bounce very far, Yang Di jumped high and grabbed the rebound with one hand.

With a "snap", he put his hands together and clamped the basketball as if he had some deep hatred for basketball.

On the fourth rebound, the score is still 0 points, and there is a block, typical blue-collar player data.

Yang Di handed the ball to Alstom, and then ran across the half court. Alston passed it to Wade at the top of the arc. Wade hooked Yang Di and signaled Yang Di to come out and do a pick-and-roll for him.

"I?"

In the general tactical arrangement, Odom or Haslem and Wade, who have a certain mid-range shooting ability, play pick-and-roll.

Yang Di followed Wade's command and made a pick-and-roll cover on the right side. Wade used his pick-and-roll to go to the right side, but the Celtics knew that Yang Di's finishing ability was mediocre. Tony Batty and Kedrick Brown did not switch defenses. One scrambled to delay Wade's breakthrough, and the other came around to put pressure on Wade.

Wade changed his mind to go left, and Yang Di moved down the right side with a tacit understanding, forming a cross running position with Wade.

Tony Batty kept up with Yang Di's defense. Wade jumped up and made a mid-range stop for a jumper. Kedrick blocked the shooting space, seriously interfered, and missed the shot.

"mine!"

After opening the space, Yang Di got the space to grab the rebound, and the basketball bounced in his direction, Yang Di was overjoyed, shouted, and jumped up like a big bird.

"Oops!" Tony Batty knew something was wrong when he saw the trajectory of the rebound. Looking at Yang Di who had already jumped up, he pulled his jersey unwillingly.

"Doo ~" Foul.The referee pointed at Tony Batty and fouled for a rebound.

Yang Di had already grabbed the rebound at this time, and after closing it with a "snap", he grabbed the rebound with one hand, curled his lips, and returned it to the referee.

"Does this rebound belong to me?" Yang Di secretly asked Wade as the Heat prepared to serve the frontcourt.

Wade raised his forehead, and said with uncertainty: "Shouldn't it be counted? Tony Batty fouled when you didn't fully control the rebound. This ball should be counted as a team rebound. "

"Damn it, you bastard." Yang Di was heartbroken, and looked at Tony Batty with a particularly displeased look.

Serve from the sideline, Odom passed to Wade, Wade passed back to Odom, Odom broke through on the left side with the ball, Paul Pierce was defending him, he was very strong, neither of them could do anything to each other.

Then Odom caught a glimpse of a gap in the corner of his eye, and his left hand shook like a soul out of his body.

A covert ball hit the ground during the running, the ground passed through two defenders, and directly passed to Yang Di who was strolling in. Yang Di was facing the basket, subconsciously caught the basketball with both hands, and jumped without thinking stand up!

Vin Baker and Tony Batty turned their heads, and Yang Di had risen vertically like a helicopter.

"boom!"

He slammed down heavily with both hands, with such force that it seemed to penetrate the floor.

The basketball stand was shaking, and the huge sound was transmitted to every corner of the North Shore Garden Arena through the loudspeaker. The fans opened their mouths and watched in amazement as this young man from the East completed a powerful slam dunk!

"nice shot!"

Odom and Yang Di clapped their hands, thinking that his pass was really beautiful.

It is indeed beautiful. Even a small point guard may not be able to wear this kind of pass well, but Odom can pass it to Yang Di on the other side chicly, with a wide vision and exquisite technique.

24 to 25, the Heat are only 1 point behind.

The Celtics called a timeout, and the time entered the 6th minute of the second quarter.

……

Yang Di had a rest after the game. He wiped the sweat off his face, feeling a little unhappy. In fact, in terms of physical strength, he didn't consume much just now. At least there will be no problem at all for another half a quarter of the game.

"The state is just right, maybe we will be able to grab offensive rebounds later."

As for rebounding, he is more persistent now. Blocking shots is rare, and scoring is mostly dependent on teammates. Only frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds are the positive data he can win. Prove yourself and ground yourself in the data.

The staff handed him the towel. After Yang Di wiped it, he put on his training jacket and waited quietly for the midfield.

Wade still didn't feel good. After Yang Di left the field, the Heat didn't seem to have much motivation. Pierce, however, suddenly came to the state, turned around and hit a jumper again, and then scored a three-pointer. Scoring 5 points in a row helped the Celtics establish a lead.

The Heat asked for a timeout to curb Pierce's touch.

中场结束凯尔特人49比39领先了热火10分。韦德上半场6中1只得到了2分，而皮尔斯却10投6中，半场狂砍18分，其中光第二节就得到了12分。

Even Wade, who is called a more mature rookie by the outside media, still looks very immature in comparison with the famous star Pierce.
